Topic: Express Generator not Working after Installation

Hi,

I've installed the software recently but it's not working. I get these errors after running the script

Node.js was also installed and restarted computer after installation.

C:\Windows\System32>TITLE Data Downloader

C:\Windows\System32>node  .\bin\fetch.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1051
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Windows\System32\bin\fetch.js'
    at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1048:15)

    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47 {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: []
}

Node.js v20.5.1

C:\Windows\System32>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

I created a \bin under c:\windows\system32\ and copied all files there and tried again and I get this error

C:\Windows\System32>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Please advise what I may be doing wrong.

Thank You

Re: Express Generator not Working after Installation

Edit:

You must run the "node ./bin/fetch.js" from the Express Generator folder.

I did the install at C:\express-generator\

Am also using a script from the help videos 'lisaforex'. Script

TITLE Data Downloader

node  .\bin\fetch.js
  --fx-rates true
  --symbols EURUSD USDJPY GBPUSD BRENTCMDUSD AUDUSD USA500IDXUSD XAUUSD
  --periods M1 M5 M15 M30 H1 H4 D1
  --max-bars 200000
  --time-zone 0
 
  pause

Am running this script by double clicking it from C:\express-generator\step_1_download_data.cmd and it gives this error to C:\Windows\System32>

Not sure why the PATH goes to C:\Windows\System32>. That's why I thought I copied the \bin\fetch.js under C:\Windows\System32> file there. But I keep getting the same error.

Re: Express Generator not Working after Installation

I updated the script to the one attached by following the file README.md and now it downloads.

Not sure if the issue is coming from the instructions of lisaforex scripts as I can't get it to work using her way of explaining it.

I've attached what I did previously. Am also using Windows 11. Her instructions is using Windows 10.

Updated node .\bin\gen.js to node ./bin/gen.js.

I also had to put everything on one line too make this run as otherwise all the parameters gives an error not recognized on a separate line

Does all the parameters need to be on one line to run ?

Re: Express Generator not Working after Installation

This is the original version that won't work and gives error persistently.

Perhaps you can share some thoughts on this.

Re: Express Generator not Working after Installation

You need a caret character at the end of each line when the command continues to the next line.

Here is a corrected multiline version:

TITLE Data Downloader

node  .\bin\fetch.js ^
  --fx-rates true    ^
  --symbols EURUSD USDJPY GBPUSD BRENTCMDUSD AUDUSD USA500IDXUSD XAUUSD ^
  --periods M1 M5 M15 M30 H1 H4 D1 ^
  --max-bars 200000 ^
  --time-zone 0

  pause
